Thank You

Dear Eric,Thank you for loving me for who I am - for never making me feel inadequate.Thank you for flirting with me when we are alone and especially when we are in public; letting everyone know that I am yours and you are happy about it. Thank you for making me feel wanted and needed.Thank you for taking me and my body as we are and loving us for it.Thank you for being my confidant, for listening to my occasional rants and never telling me I'm wrong. Thank you for never tiring of snuggling with me.Thank you for being handsome - for dressing up for me and shaving that little bit of extra stubble for me.

Thank you for standing by every decision I make - for trusting that I have a good reason and always best interests at heart.

Thank you for making me laugh when I need it most.Thank you for being my sweetheart, my baby, my darling and my love.Thank you for simply pulling me into your arms for a tender hug when I feel like my world is shattering; letting me know that the most important things are, and always will be, stable.Thank you for taking all those dorky pictures with me - and never complaining when they get thrown all over social media.

Thank you for all the little things you do like dropping me off and parking the car in the rain when I spent way too much time on my hair. Or taking the kids down for cereal and milk while I catch a few more moments of sleep.Thank you for all the forehead kisses, bear hugs, piggy back rides, and tickle fights.Thank you for making me feel so safe in your arms.Thank you for all the romantic, sentimental things you do for me. I love the flowers, the foot rubs, the french fries and cokes.Thank you for all the moments where you make it so clear that you are proud of me.Thank you for your patience and willingness to take the kids on my cranky days.Thank you for your exuberance in trying new things with me.Thank you for venturing down the dark path of shopping with me and for, with a smile, always letting my buy more than we came for.Thank you for trusting me to be the mother of your children.Thank you for always being respectful.Thank you for letting me see all of you - all of your ups all of your downs. Your fears and your dreams.Thank you for calling on me for help when you need it.Thank you for that look in your eyes where I know, in your heart and in mine that I am yours.Thank you for kissing me - always. No matter what I'm wearing, no matter if I have curlers in my hair or a toothbrush hanging out of my mouth.Thank you for doing this without thought - but simply because you love me.Thank you for choosing me, out of everybody, to spend eternity with.Thank you for taking me to the temple, 4 years ago today and marrying me, making me yours forever.I love you with all of my heart and I always will! That love will only grow stronger as we grow older. You are kind and loving beyond anything I thought a human to be capable of. Our marriage has surpassed all of my expectations and my dreams.

Hornibrook Family December 2015

ERIC & JESSIE:

Eric and Jessie met in a BYU singles ward. Dating was a long time coming, but once it started, it really took off! Their hobbies are centered on whatever helps them spend time together, but their favorite thing to do is play games. Sure, they really enjoy board games (like, really enjoy them), but their favorite pastime is video games! Fun for him and an interactive movie for her! Most of the time, Jessie watches Eric play - but they do have several 2-player games that they both fancy.

They love to laugh, act goofy, and all around have fun; trying to not take life too seriously unless the occasion truly calls for it. They adore their kids, Triple A, but they absolutely LOVE date night and mini-vacations!

THE HORNIBROOK FAMILY:

Eric is from Oregon and graduated from the Marriott School of Management at Brigham Young University in Organizational Behavior and Human Resources. He loves anything dealing with technology and is an amazing drummer. Eric works as the IT Support Supervisor at Precoa. He manages the support team, handles purchases and outside vendors, finances, and much more.

Jessie is from Utah and graduated from the Brigham Young University Marriott School of Management in Recreation Management and received a minor in Ballroom Dance. Jessie coached dance and worked as an event planner for international conferences before she got married. Since then, she's continued to teach dance, but she's also worked at home as an editor. The English language has ridiculous, unnecessary rules, but she loves them all!

Aaron was born July 7, 2011, and is the most crazy kid you'll ever meet! He has an amazing smile, an adorable giggle, and climbs everywhere - literally. Aaron loves everything "boy" - superheroes, cars, LEGOs, you name it! His favorite place to be is outdoors - he loves playing with his friends, riding his bike, digging in the dirt with his sisters, and every sport he can get his hands on. He has just finished kindergarten and had a great year!

Audrey was born July 18, 2013 and is an adorable, little ball of loving manipulation - she's extremely cute, and she knows it! She loves being a princess, cooking play food, pretending to do her hair/make-up, singing and dancing. Her favorite place to be is wherever Mama or Daddy are!

Adelynn was born June 6, 2015 and is always smiling - literally, always smiling, especially when she's being sassy (which is all the time)! She loves to sing (a lot), explore, and play by herself, but she absolutely loves playing with her siblings - dress-up, pretend, anything they'll let her join! Her favorite place to be is a comfy couch to snuggle up while watching a movie.
